Free fall at Pistyll Rhaeadr

We went to see the tallest waterfall south of Scotland. It is supposed to be taller than Niagara. Objects feel weight because of the normal contact force (formerly known as the normal reaction force) pushing back up on them. This is when the weight of an object pushing down on a solid compresses the springy electostatic bonds between atoms. When objects fall through the air, this can't happen. There is no normal contact force so there is no reason for an object to "feel" the gravitational pull, even though it is falling. I watched the water falling and made it seemingly freeze by fixing my gaze on a particular piece of falling water. For this piece of water, it would have seemed to exist in a world devoid of gravity until it hit the bottom.
